Default Re: KK out of the blinds..

In a deep stack cash game, there is rarely a time I am not reraising KK.

So heads up after a call of my re-raise, I am aggressive on this flop most of the time. I will bet out OOP with my normal value bet range, say 2/3 to 3/4 pot. Sometimes, I will check/call. Sometimes, I will checkraise but this is really read dependent on my opponent. If I get checked behind, I will most likely lead out on the turn, regardless of the card.

In general, a hand like KK likes to be in control of the betting. This is really important because when an A comes on the flop, that lead out value or continuation bet will take it most of the time.

As well, you have to think about your opponents hand. On this flop of AT2, what could villain have? Since you re-raised him and he called, you can narrow it down a lot. AA probably would have kept pushing preflop. AK or AQ or possible. TT could be possible depending on how loose this guy is. 22 is unlikely. AT is unlikely.

So if the guy has AK he is probably pretty happy and if he has AQ he is probably proceeding with caution.

I don't mind this situation. Only a guy with AK here is likely to try and push me around.
